I suppose the radar signature was camera "glare" too, smh. This is pretty weak.

Exactly! The number of comments in this thread treating this and mick west as credible is disturbing

The video states that there's something there, but its heat signature is causing the glare (the video is in IR). Was the object flying steadily and rotating weirdly throughout the video? You can't see how the object is flying, the smooth motion and weird rotation you perceive is the effect of the glare! But nah, of course you know better!

  You're right, some random guy on the internet definitely knows better than the first hand witnesses and U.S. Navy! Actually, it was probably swamp gas. Case closed.

    "Some random guy" did the research, showed you other examples of glare, did all the maths, but hey, you DO know better! Well done!

It's probably worth at least skimming the article prior to dismissing it. He's not saying nothing's there. > He says that his video does not address the object itself as it’s not clear what the object is and there is nothing to say that it isn’t special or exemplary in some way. He just argues that his analysis shows that it isn’t actually exhibiting any incredible behavior and opens the door to other “mundane possibilities” like a distance small jet just flying away and the heat of the engines is what is creating a large glare on the thermal camera. He's saying the supposedly magical behavior is explicable. Without that, it's a fairly boring "someone's probably flying a drone near our ships" sort of incident.

  There are plenty of "mundane" explanation for the motion of the object to be real as well, and not just camera glare. No need to invoke aliens. For example, this video shows SDI technology from the 80s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnofCyaWhI0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnofCyaWhI0 which appears perfectly capable (albeit in test) of in-place rotation/motion very similar to that of the object. It could very well have been a drone, but I find it incredible that people dismiss first hand accounts in preference to some internet armchair quarterback.
